Greetings I am new to using aufs. My setup has these:- CPU -intel32bit Kernel Linux-2.6.37 (aufs2-) I have a the usual linux FHS root filesystem but with these /varOLD (with stuff) /var and /varNU
The end of my /etc/fstab looks like this:- proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 I am trying to mount the rootfilesystem readonly then make a branch between /varOLD(ro) and /var(rw) so that daemons and log files needing write access will function. After the root filesystem is mounted and fstab is traversed I tried mounting with this:- mount -t aufs -o br:/var=rw:/varOLD=ro none /varNU it reported bad fstype on none I then tried mount -t aufs -o br:/var=rw:/varOLD=ro aufs /varNU and it reported bad fstype on aufs I teid mounting from /etc/fstab with this:- aufs /var aufs br:/var=rw:/varOLD=ro 0 0 AND then none /var aufs rw,br:/varNU=rw:/varOLD=ro 0 0 these failed also. But they SUCCEEDED however when the rootfilesystem is remounted read-write ! In otherwords I dont seem to be able to use aufs2 when the rootfilesystem is mounted read-only and /etc/fstab seems to be ignored. Advice would be appreciated.
